  • Union Workers Strike At Illinois Caterpillar Plant (Joliet, Il)

    I agree completely. There was a time and a place when unions were needed but that is in the past. All we have now is greedy workers who feel they are owed something. I moved from the north because so many jobs were closing down and a lot were union shops. I have scabbed a few lines being a machinist. I had no remorse about it at all. The way I looked at it was if I wasn’t there running production while these fools were on strike, the shop would relocate or hire others in their place or possibly even go bankrupt. I have even been contacted to scab this very picket line we are talking about but presently have a good job. Though it is less money then I would make there, it is permanent. I am not greedy as these workers are. The economy is rough and is going to get worse. Be thankful you have a job and get your lazy butts back in there.
